Abstract

In Italy three epidemic peaks of meningococcal meningitis have occurred reflecting pandemic recrudescence of the disease. The seasonal distribution of the disease is similar in the epidemic or non-epidemic periods. There is no significant difference in the regional distribution of the disease. The disease is more prevalent among young males. The prevalent serogroup of Neisseria meningitidis is C. There has been a decrease in resistance to sulphonamides and an increase to rifampin among the isolated strains.

摘要

在意大利，已出现三次脑膜炎球菌性脑膜炎的流行高峰，这反映出该疾病的大流行复发。在流行期或非流行期，该疾病的季节分布相似。该疾病的地区分布没有显著差异。该疾病在年轻男性中更为普遍。脑膜炎奈瑟菌的流行血清群为C群。在分离出的菌株中，对磺胺类药物的耐药性有所下降，而对利福平的耐药性有所增加。
